When someone is against other people shipping a fictional couple because they personally dislike it.
Believing other people shouldn't enjoy a certain pairing and actively demanding those people to stop shipping it, generally involving morals as a reason to why they don't like the pairing and nobody else should.

Person 1: The other day an anti harassed me because they found out I ship Sylvie and Loki.
Person 2: Ugh, anti-shipping is so dumb. Why do you care that I like something that you don't? They're so childish.

"Destiel (Dean and Castiel from Supernatural) is one of my favorite Yay ships!!!"
"Sabriel (Sam and Gabriel also from Supernatural) is another favorite Yay ship!"
"So is Johnlock (John and Sherlock from Sherlock)!!!"
"Don't forget TenRose (the Tenth doctor and Rose from Doctor Who)!!!"

A veiled reference to a Black Books episode, used as a metaphor for masturbation. In the episode, Fran masturbates to the shipping forecast because the reader's voice 'confuses her'... but in a good way.
"Why is Linnea taking so long to get changed?"
"Oh, don't worry. She's just got the shipping forecast on."

An English post-punk band, formed in 1979 and active from then until 1981. Their members were: Simon Brighton (guitarist)
Terry Welbourn (bassist)
Colin Hopkirk (vocalist)
Nick Green (drummer)
They are sometimes attributed to being the writers of The Most Mysterious Song on The Internet, due to two of their most famous songs (The Cinema Clock and Strangers) sounding similar, although this has been mostly debunked. Their songs are actually pretty good, I would recommend checking them out.

Person 1: Hey, what would you say is your favourite band?
Person 2: I'd have to say The Sinking Ships.
Person 1: Who?
Person 2: Criminally underrated group.
